6g. Households Above or Below the Poverty Line by District Coalition

This map shows the households in Portland above or below the poverty level in 2000. Again, SE has the most number of households in poverty, however, NW/downtown has the highest poverty rate at 19%. It should be noted that these data are from the year 2000, when the Pearl District redevelopment was just beginning, and that the NW area includes both a high concentration of single occupancy units, low-income and affordable housing, and also now condominiums.
